I killed at Oceanography, 1st in regionals both years. I think I'll also be good at Earthquakes & Volcanoes, but I haven't competed in my regional yet.

Mission Possible!!!

Pleiades thinks this will be back for C next year. However, this is just Pleiades' guess so dont attack Pleiades if she is wrong.

Science Word was epic, but I never got to do it in competition because I was just a lowly little 7th grader and then the next year I had a conflict. We always used to goof off at practice by entire groups of us- literally like 20 7th, 8th, and 9th graders- "practicing Science Word", even though only 2 of the people were actually doing Sci Word in competition.

I want Food Sci back, but I want GOOD event writers who actually have the event have something to do with FOOD (and not just the density of water and ethanol, which has nothing to do with anytrhhing, *cough* B Div event from Nationals last year *cough*) and realize that iron determinations don't work in events because the amount of iron you get is so small that you can't really measure it, even if you do manage to isolate it (again, National B Div event from last year...).

Ditch Fossils bring back Rocks n' Minerals

Road Scholar for C Div(Me and my partner need another chance to medal in this event after 3 years of not medaling)

Baloon Race for C Div

They should have a battlebots competition- Robo-Cross is good too, but I think have bots battle each other would be better... someone back me up so we can add it next year in Division B and C.

Well, if you live in NY they have a trial event called sumo-bots, the idea is to push the other bot out of the ring. So it pretty much is battlebots. Anyway I want math event, Sumo-bots to go to all states to replace robo-cross (its definitly going.) And some sort of logical event with thinking a puzzles and working things out.

Baloon Race for C Div

That event was really bad no offense. It was fun and i liked it, but still really bad. there's a reason they took it out. People that did the event came up with a saying that the event was "20%skill, 80%luck" to show how unpredictible it could be.

We definitely don't want Sumobots to go to all states. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun event, but it has a lot of problems. It is only able to accurately determine the first place winner while all the other places have some sort of luck of the draw aspect to it. If only one team from each bracket goes to the finals and you get stuck in a bracket with the first place winner, you'll lose but you might have been able to get the second place medal however you got stuck in that position and thus end up getting like 25th. You would have to battle every team to get an accurate scoring method. So let's just keep it as a trial event as it should be.
